Sunny Day at Community Festival + Chocomint order



My mom's class is having a performance at this local festival and wanted me and Sharon to be there. It was supposed to be at 12am but then got moved to 11:20 , which is too early for me :/ . So I ended up having only half an hour to get ready ...

It wasnt all that interesting there, but I got free cookie and drink :D. Free food always tastes better LOL


Most of the activities there are for little kids, I also wasnt all that interested in talking to strangers so me and my sister just went off and take a ton of photos to kill time.

Saying that though there was 1 interesting performance  , this caucasian young man wrote a poem titled ''Cafe Sua Da'' - > ''Vietnamese Iced Milk Coffee''. Its funny to me since Im Vietnamese, and I love Viet coffee XD

Chocomint ring <3
It was a very sunny day so perfect for usage of flash photography :D. Usually I hate flash but under the sun it looks very nice

Flower was borrowed from performers and my hair accessory is my baby sister haha, i got it for her at Disney store >w<
Sharon and me
Sharon and me
I love big accessories
And here's a family photo,  horrible lighting but it was the only shot with all of us >.>.  Isnt my baby sister super cute :D <3 ? She's only 4yrs old but she's a baby :3.
My mom is wearing a traditional Vietnamese dress called "ao dai".


Afterward we all went for lunch at a Japanese restaurant near my place. This place is run by Japanese people so the food quality is quite good .
I only took one photo of the food though.

The last thing I want to show is my first order from Chocomint. It was a very pleasant experience, the shop staff speaks English and was really friendly and helpful. One of my item was out of stock and they let me add in another item to replace it :D. Also they marked my package as ''Gift'' to make sure I dont have to pay for custom, without me even asking for it ^^.
Overall I definitely recommend their store if you want good quality accessories with affordable price

I absolutely adore this ring ever since I saw it on Tumblr. Was a bit expensive though totally worth it ;)

I wish they still had this ring in Pink though, Lavender is nice too but Pink would matches my clothes better


That's all for now. Until next time when im feeling not lazy again XD <3 <3

Green Lantern + The Adventure in Fairmont Hotel

I haven't seen Galina for so long, because she's always busy with school =_=. It was Tuesday and it can only means half off movie night at Cineplex 8D. There wasnt any good movie around that time (since i already seen all the good ones haha), so even though i know Green Lantern's poor rating we decided on that. Gotta show support for a Vancouver actor :P

Started off the day i went to meet with her at Lansdowne as Galina wanted to show me some sales. I dont really go to that mall since it's not that interesting to me, but I manages to get a cute Bunny Ring
 
   
Bunny = Me ; Cat = Galina

We then headed downtown to wander around before movie time. That day was the first time i've been to Vancouver Downtown after the Riot. Everything seems back to normal except for some shop's windows being boarded up. Poor Coach and LV stores :(
I dont really go into expensive brand stores normally, they dont suit my taste anyway but we had time to kill so we went inside Fairmont Hotel to check out some stores. For some dumb reasons we went inside the elevator (the door was opened ok D;) and didnt realize you need a card to use it, until a lady stepped in right after us and close the door before we could escape (uh oh).
It was very embarrassing, there's obviously no stairs down, so the floor staffs had to activate the elevator to let us down the lobby QAQ. NEVER AGAIN
Downstair of Fairmont there're some service stores, such as this shoe repair service. At first i thought it was part of their display - this antique looking chair- but it was a real service, however the person working there is on break. 

Dress: Liz Lisa
Shoes: DreamV
And there's this wedding service store, the display is gorgeous ;w; I want my house to look like this 

Chandelier ;w;


Afterward we bought our movie tix, then wander aimlessly to get late lunch.I absolutely love the outside display of the Cupcake Shop. This one is Marie Antoinette theme <3<3
Cupcake hair >w< <3


 They also used the famous Marie's quote let them eat cake at the front door LOL

First time eating from this place, its a trailer bus (?) that apparently quite popular. We both got the same Chicken Sandwich. It was funny i think the guys who work there acted nicer toward us girls - offer to wrap up the food, showed us where to get topping and stuffs - while to other guys they just gave them their food
It was some good sandwich, packed with lotsa meat and mushroom <3


We also went to a Japanese super market to get drink. Bought Aloe Vera drink to match ''Green Lantern'' ;D
                                                        

The movie itself was very MEH but i already knew so didnt expect anything. Good visual effect though

To end of the day we stopped at English Bay to get half off at Marble Slab using our movie tix as coupon YAY . First time eating there , i quite like it :D
Mine = Rasberry Cheese Cake on Dark Chocolate  cone, Galina's =  Macha Coconut
End entry with beautiful English Bay :D
